New Chicks Have Arrived!! Yellow is the extra?

7320 and 7325 look alike and are probably your olive eggers.The rest should be the Easter eggers but I could be wrong.The yellow one would have to be researched sorry

I thought those were my OEs too at first! They are getting light feathers now though! One has cream color coming in and the other is getting white! They have completely stumped me lol

Maybe you and your friend can agree to swap after they start laying so you both get what you want?

Yeah we may do that! Since she’s not getting hers till they’re fully feathered, I’m hoping we can kinda figure out who’s who by then.

My legbar rooster was very light when he was a baby chick. Easy to tell from the rest. He is with one of my welsummers in this one photo if I'm not mistaken

I used paper towels a couple days to stop the leghorns from eating the pine shavings ( underneath the paper towels)

The Welsummer looks very similar to the brown leghorn that young. Super cute!

The leghorns are still afraid I'll eat them so they don't get too close.When it comes time to lock them up they go right in.The welsummers look at me as if they're entitled to stay out longer

I saw a baby chick poking its little head out from underneath the broody hen yesterday but I didn't disturb her or lift her off the nest so I don't know how many chicks have hatched yet.The cats keeping the incubator warm

I have 1 sapphire gem and she’s such a sweetheart. Are they known for going broody? I don’t have a rooster so it would be a waste if mine did lol. I think it would be so cool to have a hen hatch some eggs though!!

Sapphire Gems are not known for going broody. That doesn't say what yours will do, just that broodiness is relatively rare among Sapphire Gems, compared with some other kinds of chickens.

The same goes for any of the other common hybrids that are supposed to be very good layers: a broody is not laying, so selection for good layers is partly a selection against broodiness.
